HudsonValley.pm (or HV.pm) is the Hudson
Valley, New York, area chapter of the group Perl /M([ou]nger|aniac)s/,
an informal organization of interested Perl programmers, users,
readers, writers, hackers, mungers, manglers, and even a few innocent
bystanders.

The purpose of the group is to provide interested
parties the chance to get together once in a while, and enjoy
some good food and/or drink. If the conversation turns around
to Perl topics, as it inevitably will, that's fine.

The U.S. Department of Defense has determined
that this mixture of opinion, technical expertise, personalities,
food and/or alcohol did NOT produce a containable and/or controllable
substance that further study could incorporate into the next generation
of cruise missile.

In other words: Perl Programmers have too
much fun!

Future expansion of this web site may include:
a script repository, perl training, book reviews, beer reviews,
quick hacks, personal bios, etc. content will be voted on by the
membership. suggestions are more than welcome.

The Hudson Valley chapter of Perl Mongers
was created by Arthur Ramos Jr. on June 10th, 1999.
